TRA VISIONS 2022 RESULTS

The TRA VISIONS 2022 Young Researchers Competition targets students at universities and technical institutes pursuing bachelor and higher degrees, as well as early career PhD researchers.

Initially, participants are invited to submit an abstract under one of the TRA conference Topics (Call for Ideas). This is the registration period where all the participants are invited to register their ideas, and submit a title and a short abstract of their ideas. The participants then usually have a three-month period to further develop their proposals into a final project following a very clear template (Submission of Ideas). This is normally followed by an Evaluation of Ideas period, divided into two steps- a first remote evaluation by two evaluators and a second step in which the SHORT LISTed ideas (10 per mode) are evaluated by a judging panel during the SHORT LISTing Event in which the three top ideas per mode (road, rail, waterborne and crossmodality) are identified. The winner certificates and the prizes are awarded at the TRA conference during a prestigious award ceremony.

The TRA VISIONS Consortium works closely with the organisers of the TRA conference in order to ensure that the competitions have maximum exposure and impact during the conference and beyond. To ensure the active and large participation of students and early stage researchers, an extensive and well planned "promotion phase" is carried out.
